This would have taken no small effort on Roger’s part, for which I thank him most profusely – yet again, Roger has generously devoted his own time to dive into a local history question here on the Brownhills Blog, and come up with top-notch material. He’s nothing less than a gentleman and a star.

Hi Bob
Roger Jones ,you are a star!
Arthur Burton’s diary Tuesday 19 September 1916;-
Arrived at Dover ( on board he St Denis) at 6 AM and entrained to Tunbridge then by motor to Tunbridge Wells where we are in a fine hospital called WESTHALL in Queen’s Road where we are being looked after very well and the SISTERS are very good to us. My head is still a little queer”

HI Roger
Quarry Hill House, Tonbridge was probably the first military hospital he was sent to,run by Kent/44VAD, and West Hall may be the building now called St George’s Centre, and is in Queen’s Road, RTW.
kind regards
